Quote from amp88 :2012 Voting Machines Altering Votes. Cue Racer X in 3, 2, 1...

If it's not faked, this is most likely just a miscalibrated machine. No doubt it's a bad sign, but I think if it were a systematic attempt to funnel votes to Romney it probably wouldn't actually SHOW you choosing Romney when you mean to choose Obama.

edit: don't let me get in the way of the Racer X show, though.

The Jacket is a pretty cool movie. Saw it in the theater way back when.

Quote from ACCAkut :just a question for the US people: How many different parties/people are there to choose from on the voting machines? Does it differ from state to state/county to county?

Yeah, it varies by state. Each candidate has to fulfill certain requirements to get on the ballot, and those requirements are different in each state. Here in Massachusetts we had four choices for the Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket:

1. Obama/Biden (Democrat)
2. Romney/Ryan (Republican)
3. Johnson/Gray (Libertarian)
4. Stein/Honkala (Green/Rainbow)

You can also write in whoever you want, if you really want to throw your vote away.

Quote from Electrik Kar :No-one's mentioned Cloud Atlas yet? I went in not knowing anything about it and came out really moved. It's strange and very ambitious. Very long too. Amazing performances from Hanks and Weaving (and Doona Bae and Jim Broadbent, I just looked them up). Terrific score...

Wow.

Read the book.

Movie is not exactly what I'd call "good," but it's certainly ambitious and at times moving, inspiring, exciting, funny, thoughtful. More than you get from most movies these days.

Quote from CSF :Webber got a clean pass because it only spun him. Perez took out two cars, neither of which were his own!

So they're penalizing based on the outcome rather than the act?

Quote from boothy :http://184.106.145.74/fia-f1/f ... 2%20DocumentNumber-53.pdf

I stand corrected! Speed commentators weren't crystal clear on it, I guess. I think it's doubly hilarious that he got penalized for the Grosjean contact, then, considering Webber got a free pass for the same thing.

Quote from mythdat :Wasn't it coming back onto the track and taking Grosjean and Webber out that he got the penalty for?

No. He got the penalty for forcing Di Resta off-track.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :They were alongside, DR was on the inside for the left hander. Why should he concede anything?

Because he knew he'd put Perez in a place where he had no other viable route. Obviously he knew that since he took to the grass. (Or was there actual contact? I can't remember and I can't find a good video of it.)

Anyway, I don't see how a situation like that can be anything other than a racing incident. Particularly when Webber got away with what he got away with earlier on.

I'd really like to see a helicopter view. To me it looked like he had to take such a shallow angle to the first apex that he had no chance of leaving much at the second. Di Resta chose to cut the corner rather than conceding the spot, and Perez ran wide to give him room on the exit. He certainly didn't gain anything from running wide... in fact he lost a spot.

wtg Kimi!

No idea how Perez gets penalized for that incident. What room was he supposed to leave? He was fully alongside and up on the curb. Oh well, nice result for Kobayashi anyway.

That's not that bad, considering NH has a population of 1.3mil.

Power never went down here in Massachusetts. I imagine New Hampshire is a-ok, too.

Up here in Boston it's light rain and occasionally gusty winds at the moment, but I'm heading home from work around lunchtime just in case. Expecting some power outages and downed trees/powerlines, but not much more.

Racer X doesn't get ticked off, because he doesn't listen to anyone other than himself (and the cherry-picked sources that support his insane worldview).

Markus "Checkout" Gunzelmann Joins CoRe Racing!

There are many reasons why a team might be happy to have Markus "Checkout" Gunzelmann on its roster. First of all, he's 25, which raises the team's average age and makes the elderly team manager feel less ancient. And he's not Finnish, which, frankly, is becoming more and more of a rarity among top LFS drivers these days. Oh, and then there's the fact that he's a quick, consistent, and reliable driver, as he proved in his years with the famed GT1 endurance team of #low-racing / RACE-STAR.

Today CoRe is very happy to welcome Markus to the team. He brings a wealth of experience and maturity to our operations, and should help our GT1 program immensely as we look forward to GT1WS. We've raced with Markus in the past (he helped us out with Super GT last season) and we know him well. We're absolutely certain he's going to fit right in. When he's not racing LFS or at work on his IT apprenticeship, Markus is an avid footballer and electric guitar player. He'll be driving for us with the number 32 and the name CoRe M.Gunzelmann. Welcome to the team, Markus!
